The book examines empathy through storytelling. The work is an inventive human experiment, which aims to draw out an emotional reaction and encourages viewers to probe into the making of their feelings. The book can be read from both ends, or both beginnings, which offers two paths with different perspectives. One path depicts the story of a predator and the other of a prey. In the middle the paths and protagonists meet – who will you empathise with? The work was created in the context of the work Empathy Machine which premiered at a solo exhibition at The Finnish Museum of Photography.
